THE VULCAN REPORT
Review of Emini NASDAQ 100 (US@NQ.1)
as of Thursday, August 18, 2011


Today's Price Action


Change  -114.7500 (-5.22%) prices closed lower than they opened. with weak Bids going into the close.This is bearish, as prices closed significantly lower than they opened.  If the candle appears when prices are "high," it may be the first sign of a top.  If it occurs when prices are confronting an overhead resistance area the long black candle adds credibility to the resistance.  Similarly, if the candle appears as prices break below a support area, the long black candle confirms the failure of the support area. 


A falling window occurred (where the bottom of the previous shadow is above the top of the current shadow).  This usually implies a continuation of a bearish trend.
